TL;DR: The negative effects of climate change cannot be adequately anticipated or prepared for unless species responses are explicitly included in decision-making and global strategic frameworks, and feedbacks on climate itself are documented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Harmful cyanobacterial blooms: causes, consequences, and controls.
TL;DR: In this article, the applicability and feasibility of various controls and management approaches for natural waters and drinking water supplies are discussed, and a key underlying approach that should be considered in almost all instances is nutrient (both N and P) input reductions; which have been shown to effectively reduce cyanobacterial biomass, and therefore limit health risks and frequencies of hypoxic events.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the global ecology, genomics, and biogeography of the toxic cyanobacterium, Microcystis spp.
Matthew J. Harke,Morgan M. Steffen,Christopher J. Gobler,Timothy G. Otten,Steven W. Wilhelm,Susanna A. Wood,Hans W. Paerl +6 more
TL;DR: The ability of Microcystis assemblages to minimize their mortality losses by resisting grazing by zooplankton and bivalves, as well as viral lysis, and discuss factors facilitating assemblage resilience are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
State of knowledge and concerns on cyanobacterial blooms and cyanotoxins.
TL;DR: This paper provides a state of the art on the occurrence and management of harmful cyanobacterial blooms in surface and drinking water, including economic impacts and research needs.

It Takes Two to Tango: When and Where Dual Nutrient (N & P) Reductions Are Needed to Protect Lakes and Downstream Ecosystems
Hans W. Paerl,J. Thad Scott,Mark J. McCarthy,Silvia E. Newell,Wayne S. Gardner,Karl E. Havens,Daniel K. Hoffman,Steven W. Wilhelm,Wayne A. Wurtsbaugh +8 more
TL;DR: Managers should consider whether balanced control of N and P will most effectively reduce HABs along the freshwater-marine continuum, supported by studies indicating that biological N fixation cannot always meet lake ecosystem N needs, and that anthropogenic N andP loading has increased dramatically in recent decades.

Human Domination of Earth's Ecosystems
TL;DR: Human alteration of Earth is substantial and growing as discussed by the authors, between one-third and one-half of the land surface has been transformed by human action; the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere has increased by nearly 30 percent since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution; more atmospheric nitrogen is fixed by humanity than by all natural terrestrial sources combined; more than half of all accessible surface fresh water is put to use by humanity; and about one-quarter of the bird species on Earth have been driven to extinction.

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
O. Edenhofer,K. Seyboth +1 more
TL;DR: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as mentioned in this paper has become a key framework for the exchange of scientific dialogue on climate change within the scientific community as well as across the science and policy arenas.

Controlling Eutrophication: Nitrogen and Phosphorus
Daniel J. Conley,Hans W. Paerl,Robert W. Howarth,Donald F. Boesch,Sybil P. Seitzinger,Karl E. Havens,Christiane Lancelot,Gene E. Likens +7 more
TL;DR: Improvements in the water quality of many freshwater and most coastal marine ecosystems requires reductions in both nitrogen and phosphorus inputs.

Blooms like it hot
Hans W. Paerl,Jef Huisman +1 more
TL;DR: A link exists between global warming and the worldwide proliferation of harmful cyanobacterial blooms as discussed by the authors, and it has been shown that global warming can be linked with the proliferation of these blooms.
